I am a Christian. I am an American. I pray for our troops who are working to preserve freedom.
You have yet to testify if you pray for our troops. Do you? Can you serve two masters? Where is your supreme love? Can you be slave to the world? The US is a kingdom of the world. No government of the world looks like the Kingdom of God. God's Kingdom is not of this world. Not only that, be the sure word of prophesy does not put the US on a good trajectory, but perhaps you don't believe that. I read the following just last night, "mixing nationalism with the Good News is like mixing manure and ice cream -- it doesn't do much for the manure and it ruins the ice cream."

So, are you praying for the ISIS who are warring and killing and love them, but refuse to pray for and love the soldiers sent out to oppose the ISIS?

I have not said that I do not pray for this country or it's servicemen. I have a close relative of high rank in the service in the thick of things. And what they tell me, and it is not much, but what they have said would shock many people of what is going on and the mentality of some making decisions. WAR never will solve anything. It never solved Israel's problems. Look at the end result of Israel? NOTE - what is the US doing? Warring and killing. Can you tell me that the Middle East is in better shape today than it was before the recent wars? Nope.

I agree, the USA is very selective in what nations they "liberate". It appears that the wars the US gets involved in since WWII have not been fought to win, but simply to cause an upset in power.
By "liberating" people from Saddam, they simply opened the door and made it easier for the more radical Islamics to gain power.
Prophecy (Daniel 11:40-45) shows the "Christian" powers under the papal head will over run the Islamics or get them to "be at their heels" or comply with them. But that won't solve anything either, it will just result in more destruction and oppression.
It's all part of a grand program to get the whole world worshipping the beast and his image.

Well said, Dedication. I agree. Many current world events are fulfilling prophecies before our very eyes. We already know where things are headed.
Blessings,
Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

I have not said that I do not pray for this country or it's servicemen. Nor have you said you do pray for the troops. Do you? Do you pray for their families? And, do you pray for the USA - the lamblike nation of prophecy?

Do you think Jesus hears and answers their prayers - the prayers of troops and their families?
